Lyrics and chords for Liverpool Light. Some the chord/lyric alignment is a little rough, sorry! wg Liverpool Light by Bill Staines Em D Em D I've sailed this island for most of my life G D Em All the way from the Minch to Dundee G D Em And in Liverpool once I did take me a wife C D Em And it's her that I'm longing to see G D C D Cho: Singing, shine, shine, Liverpool light Em D GD Shine on your children below; G D C D Singing, shine, shine, Liverpool light Em D EmD Shine on your children below Em D EmD Shine on your children below. Em D Em D Three months ago April I left her with child G D Em A child that was mine sure as she. G D Em But she'd not complain, for she's gentle and mild C D Em And it's her that I'm longing to see. Cho. Em D Em D I've sinned a lot, for a sinner I be; G D Em As a sailor, I've sailed in the storms. G D Em But in Liverpool, that's where I'm longing to be, C D Em With her arms wrapped around me so warm. Cho. Em D Em D When the light from your tower is all that I see, G D Em And her footsteps they run to the door. G D Em Then I'll lift up my glass, and for all men to see, C D Em I will vow to go sailing no more. Cho.
